THE MINOR ARTS.
Why No Industry, Be 1t Ever SO Humble,

Why No Industry, Be It Ever SO Humble,
Should Be Considered Trifling.
No industry or art can be regarded
as trifing when a poor person can
make a living by it, or when any
number of people, old Or young, find
in it amusement, relaxation or in
struction. l have known many fam
lilies in which the practice of the minor
arts was discouraged under a mis-
taken impression that it caused waste
of time, or induced tastes and habits
which disqualified the young from
forming Cuisines habits. This is
great mistake. All practical arts,
however small, induce habits of pa
tience, industry and self-control. They
form habits of thinking; for, as men have
composed books while making shoes,
so others can not help pursuing trains
of thought while carving, basket
making, or setting beads. And it is
gradually being found out and recog-
nized that hard-work of any kind, but
more especially that which interests
us. develops the constructive faculties;
that is to say, makes us apt with the
fingers, and quicker at perceiving any
thing, or at inventing or finding out
ways and means to make or do any,
thing.
From this point of view, even set
ting beads and inlaying with wire may
have their good effects as moral dis
cipline.-Charles G. Leland. in ST.
Nicholas.

THE DIFFERENCE.
A Highly. Moral Fairy Tale About Two
Strawberry Vendors.

"A Hfehly' Moral FAIRY Tale ABOUT TWO
Strawberry Vendors.
There was a man.
And he had horse and wagon.
And he went about the streets sell
ing strawberries.
And he yelled 'Straw-buries! Straw.
buriesr' at the top of his voice.
The sick groaned in despair.
The well gritted their teeth with in
dignation.
And the police couldn't stop him.
But one day Providence picked him
up with a congestive chill and sent him
home to die, and he expired in agony.
He was buried in cheap coffin, in a
cheap lot, and six weeks later his
widow was married to tinker.
And there was another man. and he
also sold Strawberries. Instead Of
roaring "Strawburiesr' from down in
his boots, he drove about at a gentl,
pace, knocked softly at every back
door, and as the girl appeared he quict-
ly remarked: please ask the lady of
the house if she will buy fresh straw
berries at eight cents quartz"
Aud his ways were taking. and his
berries went as fast as he could load
up, and syndicate of millionaires
took hold of him and made him presi-
dent of a National bank. with salary
of $4,000 per year. For other par

that he is rapidly getting his eyes open

General Sherman says that the
war is over, while his brother, Sena tor
Sherman, says it is not over. As be-
tween the two, it is doubtless better to
accept the statement of the one that
was there. About the only persons
who think the war is not over are
those who weren't there. Chicago

Bit of History Which the Voters OF
This Country Must Not Forget.
Some New York newspapers are ON
the stool Of confession with regard to
the great crime which gave Mr.: Hayes
the position to which Mr.. Tilden was
elected, and when certain men fall out
honesty stands some chance of yindi-
cation. 1t appears to be question
whether "Bill" Chandler or Zach"
Chandler was the chief guilty individ-
ual, but this is a matter Of not much
Importance. The bogus claim was
eagerly seized immediately upon its
suggestion by the great Republican
party, and that party almost to its last
man insisted upon the con.
summation of the villainy. !, It
was partisan meanness which might
have been excused as the result of
a little temporary enthusiasm having
IN view a brief advantage; but as
the struggle went on it became more
and more determined and vindictiye
and malicious, though the party must
have learned, through all those weeks
OF uncertainty and apprehension, that
it was insisting upon the greatest
crime against the ballot-box, and
therefore against every good citizen,
that the country had known. "The
people will never condone it-never,"
said Mr.. Tilden. The declaration is
the solemn truth. "The people"
meant, at the time the words were
spoken, within half million of the
popular vote; but of that part of the
guilty party which is left confession and
repentance, SO far as they have not
already been presented, are only a
question of time. The people - do
not believe in crime against the system
which is designed to make them SOW.
ereigns. The younger voter is not
person of the Chandler-Hayes kind.
The time is coming when the Chand-
lers and Hayeses and the Shermans
will take ignominy and be remem.
bered after the manner of the immor.
tal4sy won by Benedict Arnold. Let
us not meanwhile make the mistake Of
comforting the ignominy merely upon
individuals. The party was made up
of men of that kind if they did not all
bear those names. 1t was the Repub-
lican party that put Hayes in his seat.
1t was that party that concocted and
supported and hurrahed for the scheme
that ended in that most consummate Of
all political rascality. Confession is
as good for the Republicans as any
other soul, but no mere man or set oil
men must be, permitted to carry the
great weight of that stupendous crime.
1t was the party that did it and the
voters of this country must not forget
it.-M. Y. GraDhic.

HIS REAL PLATFORM.

A Plausible Explanation of John Sher.
mans Apparent Inconsistency.
Is it conceivable that within ten
days of each other the two subjoined
expressions of political sentiment pro-
ceeded from the accommodating
larnyx of Hon. John Sherman, Of
Ohio? Yet such is the fact. The first
is from Mr.. Sherman's reply to the in.
vitation to so to Gettysburg The
second is from his letter congratu-
lating Foraker on his action in the
matter of the battle flags:
"Now that all alikeI II have felt keenly
feel that al indestruct- the tendency of public
IDLE Union binds us to-Iopinion, especially in
gether, there should be commercial cities, to
cordial and hearty yield every thing, honor
fellowship between he|included, to the spirit
blue and the gray" of the rebellion. A halt
~ has been called"
The no nest fellow feels and he feels.
Some days he feels one way; some days
the other way.
But on all days of the week, and at
all hours of the day, John Sherman
feels that he is getting pretty we'll
along in years, and that 1888 is his last
chance.
Whatever apparent inconsistency
there may be in some of his utterances,
the real platform on which honest John
Sherman is running for President is
short, simple and. straightfor ward.
His platform is ''Now or never!"-M

HOW an American Lady ReprOved Her
Impertlnent Coachman.
All luxuries have their attendant
drawbacks. Even that of a carriage
is accompanied by the infliction Of a
coachman, who, if he has high idea
of his own capability, is only too
likely to become martinez. A Rus
sian lady, living in Paris, says that
she was once invited to breakfast in an
questionable quarter Of the city,
across the Seine. She accepted the
invitation, delivered in person; but
her prospective hostess said, mischiev-
ously: you will be wise to start in
time to hire cab
''And whyp',,
'Oh, that magnificent coachman of
yours will never take his fine horses
and gorgeous harness to my humble
door" 4. f.sI
'Nonsense!' replied the other. .He
does what i tell him, though he is
sometimes rebelious.
Resolved to prepare for demur she
gave the coachman his order the night
before, and boldly specified her route.

Assured of victory, she was ready at
the appointed hour, but the carriage
didn appear. After time arrived
the coachman. overcome with regret.
He was so sorry, he was inconsolable;
but one of the horses was indisposed,
and could not be taken out. It was
too late to investigate, and madame
contented herself with sending tele-
gram worded thus:
Il can not be with you. My coach
man absolutely forbids it
It was an American lady who, on
asking her new coachman to drive to
certain street, was told by that func-
tionary that it was getting late, and
the horses might take cold after
dark. @
''Ah, is that SOP" was the calm reply.
''Well, suppose you drive to c.
street, instead
cts twice as far" objected the
man, emboldened by her tolerance Of
his first remark. @ .
"Indeedp Then to; Willow street.
Do you object to that distance?'
"Well, mum. it's further. by 4 good
deal" b 'a
very well; we'nsay Spring street"
By this time it began to dawn upon
the man that the distance was being
regularly and purposely heightened,
and he said no more, after giving
rather sulky assent to her caution to
drive slowly. When they reached
home, after an hours drive, the mis-
tress examined the horses with solici
tude.
"Qnitc wet and muddy, aren'tthey?"
she said. "Well. rub them down thor.
oughly. If you do it well, you won't
be through before ten. And remember
that objections are not among your
duties" - Youths Companion

"UNTO THE HILLS

When petty cares my heart Cypress,
With all their weary bitterness,
And all my soul seem, growing
A home where low ambitions dwell,
Where envy turks, suspicious swell,
! lift my eyes unto the hills,
And dream of wild flowers blowingl
Ofhappy fields where golden-rod,
And sweet pale asters sway and nod,
Mid graceful, waving grasses;
Where tender leaves are foated down,
! And fleecy clouds are lightly blown,
And care and doubt are put to rout
By every wind that passes.
Once more 1 breathe, my soul expands,
And stretches upward yearning hands
With love and longing glowing;
1t climbs the steepest mountain height,
Beyond the clouds that dim our sight,
And reaches the eternal hills,
Where flowers for aye are blowing.
Oh, toilers on life's arid plain,
Beset by disappointment pain,
Where tears are ever flowing,
Lift up your eyes, your help is there,
Where all is strong and pure and fair;
For Gods own thought Is crystalized
In every wild flower blowing
